Back At OneBrian McKnight

Brian McKnight – Back At One (Short Version) (Official Music Video)

Brian McKnight is an R&B singer known for his distinctive whispery voice that sounds like a soft breath escaping.

He began his career in the late 1980s and gained popularity in the 1990s and 2000s.

While the whisper voice is practically his trademark, he has another major appeal: his ad-libs.

In R&B and soul, ad-libbing is a commonly used vocal technique, and his stability and control in this area are exceptional, placing him among the top vocalists even among American artists.

His song “Back at One” is one of his signature love songs, beloved for its heartfelt lyrics and melody.

Catching Feelings (feat. SIX60)Drax Project

Drax Project – Catching Feelings ft. SIX60 (Official Audio)

“Catching Feelings,” a song by New Zealand band Drax Project.

It’s a feel-good track with beautiful choral lines over a simple, danceable rhythm and an impressive guitar sound.

The arrangement is superb—the chorus layers many voices, rapidly heightening the drama—and the way the dreamy atmosphere swells and comes back even bigger is irresistibly satisfying.

Justin Bieber is a singer with worldwide popularity.

Early on, he held more of an idol-like position, but he seemed to grow tired of being treated that way, and lately he’s been shifting his style toward authentic R&B and hip-hop.

A love song where you can experience his evolving sound is Peaches ft.

Daniel Caesar, Giveon.

The track has a very chill vibe, crafted with R&B phrasing that’s close to rap laid over it.

Lucio Dalla – Caruso (Live Video)

Caruso is one of the greatest love songs ever written, acclaimed worldwide.

Released by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, the song tells of the late-life love of the legendary opera singer Enrico Caruso, who flourished from the 1890s to the 1920s.

In creating the song, Lucio Dalla even conducted research at places where Caruso had actually stayed, which shows how much passion went into it.

I’ve listened to thousands of songs from over 50 countries, yet I have never heard a work that surpasses the emotion of this one.

That’s how exceptional it is.
